Most of the wedding details we can take care of this early have been settled, so the past couple of days it’s been time to just relax and visit with family. Even though we’ve been “living” with them while here, we haven’t really had a chance to truly be in vacation mode until all our “business” was settled. So, the first order of non-business for me on Saturday morning was to sleep until I felt like getting up. It was nice to know there was nothing particular on the schedule that day, no cake tasting appointments, no suits to pick up from the tailor, no internet searches to try and find out how much the rental items will cost us or where we can find a ping pong table for our “outdoor fun and games” reception…just waking up when we wanted, having a leisurely breakfast, and helping my future brother-in-law and his family set up for their annual “Independence Day” party was just what the doctor ordered for me. Isn’t that what holiday weekends are all about anyway, resting and spending time with family and friends with no particular obligations to take you away from them? I think so, and it was a perfect day for just that with absolutely beautiful weather unlike Oregon usually experiences this early in the summer season. I keep getting told I haven’t truly experienced the negatives of Oregon weather, such as the months of rain and colder temperatures, and I’m sure that’s true, but I feel very blessed to have seen nothing but awesome weather all four times I have visited this gorgeous state thus far. Happy July 4th to you all! Hope your weather and weekend is as relaxing and warm as mine has been.
